I am of the 8 track generation. I never knew you could get a scanner for your 8 track. I found this gem in a Goodwill store locally. Amazing. Now I need to get an 8 track. This little cutie has a hi and lo vhf frequency bands. You had to buy crystals for the frequencies you wanted to monitor. This one has four crystals in it (see photo) that cover the primary state police and county police frequencies of the seventies.
